My Version of KND

Well, the information on my KND is finally revealed today:

Episode 1 (Operation: C.A.N.A.D.A.):

The KND go on a bus to Montréal, Quebec, Canada. Numbuh (I know it is "number," but in the series, that is how you say it) 4 sat alone on the back row. There was a blonde girl in the bus as well. Meanwhile, a scoutmaster, Chester (the antagonist), is planning to defeat the KND. He sends his henchmen (Rufus (the dumb one), Randy (the smart one), and Rusty (the evil one) to spy on them and send the bus returning to America to Camp Sleepy Hollows (a camp in northern Quebec). When the henchmen arrive however, a Mountie, a Canadian Police officer, confronts Randy. He speaks French. Randy does not know French so the Mounties arrest him (XD). Rusty appears in the underground city in Montréal to spy on Numbuhs 1, 2, and 4. Rufus spies on Numbuhs 3 and 5. At one point, Numbuh 5 got a plate saying "Help us! You are our only hope!" She buys the plate. At the end of the day, the KND return to the bus. As planned, Rusty sends the bus up north and Rufus busts out Randy.

Episode 2 (Operation: C.A.M.P.):

The episode begins with the KND waking up on the bus and realizing that something is terribly wrong. Why were they not going south to Cleveland? They arrive at Camp Sleepy Hollows. Chester separates them in cabins. The next morning, Numbuhs 1 and 4 get sent to the pig shed after refusing to work on plates. Numbuhs 2, 3, and 5 work on the plates as well as another person. That person was the same blonde girl who was in the bus with them on the way to Montréal. This episode introduces a new henchman: Rally (who does not know of Chester's plan).

Episode 3 (Operation: S.I.X.):

Numbuhs 1 and 4 break out of the pig shed and confront Chester threatening Numbuhs 2, 3, and 5, as well as the blonde girl (who is Numbuh 6). They battle and then the henchmen put the KND to sleep. Numbuh 6 wakes the others and she makes a plan to call the Mounties to arrest Chester. First Numbuh 2 will pretend to escape the camp and they will run after him, while the others call the Mounties.

Episode 4 (Operation: M.O.U.N.T.I.E.S.):

The KND proceed with the plan. Numbuh 2 runs out and the henchmen chase him. The others call the phone, but accidently call Rufus (XD). They then call the Mounties. By the river, the Mounties confront Chester and his henchmen. While his henchmen are arrested, Chester escapes. The KND are safe but then they drop through a waterfall.

Episode 5 (Operation: W.I.T.C.H.):

The KND survive the waterfall but they, however, are lost. Numbuh 1 looks for help. He sees a house with light and he calls the others. The KND knock on the door, and an old lady appears. She welcomes them in and gives them food. Then, suddenly, Numbuh 4 falls asleep. It is revealed that the old lady is a witch (just like the one from EPCOT! O_o). The KND try to stop her, but she puts Numbuhs 1, 2, and 5 to sleep. Numbuh 6 calls the Mounties. The others awaken and fight the witch. The Mounties arrive and arrest her. The Mounties tell the KND to come with them.

Episode 6 (Operation: E.R.I.E.):

The episode begins with some scenes showing people knowing about Chester's plan (thus viewers assume that the KND told the Mounties about Chester) as the KND sail back to Cleveland on a ferry boat with the Mountie sheriff as the captain. However, Chester confronts the KND.

Episode 7 (Operation: N.I.A.G.A.R.A.):

Chester ties up the sheriff and takes control of the ferry boat. He turns the ferry northeast... towards Niagara Falls. The KND try to stop Chester, but he strongly continued steering it to Niagara Falls. At the edge of the falls, Chester escapes to the other side. But, the other Mounties save the KND and the sheriff as well as Chester's former henchmen. As the Mounties arrest Chester, they think of arresting the henchmen but chose not to arrest Rufus or Rally (because Rufus is just dumb, and Rally discovers Chester is evil and turns against him). Rusty and Randy, however, get sent to French school. The KND return to Cleveland with everyone cheering.

Epilogue:

Three years later, Numbuhs 4 & 6 date each other, Numbuhs 2 and 3 date each other, and Numbuhs 1 & 5 date each other.

Chang Update #1

No track removal yet, but the 2 trains have already been removed according to these pics (more on http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=51557&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=440):

















Train #1 is already on the truck.

















Train #2 is on the truck too.

















The construction walls for Bonzai Beach (replacing Chang).

"Welcome to Geauga Lake Kentucky Kingdom."

--------------------------

I still have hopes for it to relocate to Six Flags America. Speaking of relocate, Six Flags St. Louis is planning something for 2010. Some now speculate Chang will relocate to that park.

Switzerland Part 2

Day 2 (April 7, 2009):



















I'm off to Konstanz. That is me in St. Gallen Bahnhof (that is how you say train station in German).



















That is mom. A train is in the background.



















Well, we are at Konstanz, Germany.



















Mom with a restaurant in my beloved background.



















The dock with a view of Lake Constance.



















Hmmm... nice view.



















Those trees remind me of Whomping Willow from Harry Potter.

NOTE: This post isn't finished yet!

The Updates of the Intimidators #2

Well, the first big cranes for Intimidator at Carowinds and Intimidator 305 at Kings Dominion are both complete. 305's was complete September 22, 2009, while Intimidator's was complete September 23, 2009. So I expect to see some lift hill construction soon. Speaking of lift hill... a support for the lift hill has gone up on Carowind's Intimidator:



















There is also some red track on site and the second crane is complete and there are rumors that 305's second crane is complete too. Something tells me we will see some lift hill construction soon. BTW, that support was up on Monday, but was taken down for an unknown reason. Now it is back up!!!!!!!!! WOOT!!!!!!!!!! :)

Floods in Georgia

A few days ago, there have been big floods in the Atlanta area... including Six Flags Over Georgia. I'm very worried about the park. What will become of it? If it closes for good, what will become of their coasters especially their 4 B&Ms (Batman: The Ride (Inverted), Georgia Scorcher (Stand-Up), Superman Ultimate Flight (Flyer), and Goliath (Hyper))? I just hope the park will reopen soon (if all goes well) with all their coasters...

Switzerland Part 1

Well, the pics from Switzerland last April are finally available. Check it out:

Day 1 (April 6, 2009):



















That's me at Säntispark. What you are seeing in the background is my favorite water slide in the water park: Canyon.



















They are doing a Migros at Säntispark.



















Mom at the bus station.



















The wave pool.



















My journey is on!



















If I don't come back... tell my classmate Giancarlos to grow up!

And to make the story short, I survived the wave pool and Canyon.

That is all for Day 1. I will post pics of Day 2 soon as well as coaster updates.

P.S.: The next summer, I will go to Europe again to Europa Park.

Chang is Going "Bye-Bye"

Remember that post I had earlier in the month about a rumor that Chang may be removed from Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom to get relocated. Well as of yesterday, the rumor has been proven true. Yes, SFKK has come clean with their plans to relocate Chang. The B&M Stand-Up coaster which opened in 1997 will be relocated to another Six Flags park for some water park expansion (sounds to me like SFKK is becoming Geauga Lake). Now my reaction, I find it shocking that they are removing it just for the water park to appear. I was under the impression that Chang was popular and that the people loved it.

It is unknown where it will be relocated, but most speculate it will be in Six Flags Great America (has 4 B&Ms). Some speculate it will be in Six Flags America (has no B&Ms) or Six Flags Great Adventure (has 4 B&Ms) where both of them have yet to get a stand-up. Another rumor suggests it will be relocated to Six Flags Magic Mountain (has 4 B&Ms) with just the trains sent to Six Flags Great America. I think it should appear at Six Flags America where the park has not only yet to get a stand-up, but also has yet to get a B&M. Six Flags Great Adventure would be nice too, but I want a park that does not have a B&M to experience it. Six Flags Great America or Six Flags Magic Mountain? No. If it is relocated to either of those places, it would mean removing Riddler's Revenge or Iron Wolf. So yeah... I choose Six Flags America.
